In the early morning, Ye Xiaochuan opened his eyes from meditating.
It was dark last night and I couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly. Now it was dawn, and Ye Xiaochuan realized that this place was simply a fairyland on earth.
Looking at it, the terrain is somewhat similar to the Shiwandashan Mountains in southern Xinjiang, with mountains everywhere.
But these mountains are very strange. Each mountain is not big or high. Most of them are only a few tens of feet. Mountains of a hundred feet are very rare.
Most of the mountains are like huge raised stone pillars.
This must have been an island in Devil's Lake in the past. The bottoms of those mountains all have obvious traces of being washed away by water for a long time.
Perhaps tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years ago, the water level of Devil's Lake dropped, and the river bed here was revealed.
After a long time, the riverbed completely turned into grassland and forest.
Ye Xiaochuan was surprised to see such an oasis grassland in this land of the Western Regions.
There was no one nearby, and the cold air from the rain and thunder was temporarily suppressed, so the two little girls went crazy playing.
Chasing a group of palm-sized butterflies, running in the valley.
When Ye Xiaochuan saw this scene, he shook his head secretly.
After all, these two girls are just children.
They suffered so much and did not have a good childhood that they hid their innocence and only revealed it when no one was around.
Looking at those two energetic girls, it is hard to imagine that just a few days ago, their bodies showed very obvious signs of decline.
Ye Xiaochuan greeted: "Tianyu, Pili, stop playing around, it's getting late, get ready to go."
The rain and thunderbolt came over.
Tian Yu was very smart and said: "Are you going to find Xuan Hu, or are you going to go find those cultivation masters you marked on the map yesterday?"
Ye Xiaochuan said: "I want to go to Devil's Lake first."
Tianyu and Pili immediately shook their heads.
Pili said: "If you want to go, you can go by yourself, our sisters will not go.
There are many human cultivators living on those islands, and many of them are very powerful cultivators, such as Wu Xueshuang and Wen He. We are not going with you."
Tianyu also said that he no longer wanted to go to the islands in Devil's Lake.
This put Ye Xiaochuan in a difficult position.
He couldn't let the rain and thunderbolt out of his sight.
Although these two women need cultivation and magic weapons, and they have not yet entered the Devil's Lake, this is the base camp of the devil's cult, and there are countless masters who are more powerful than Tianyu Thunderbolt.
If the rain and the thunderbolt were to wait for me here, if I encountered any danger or any shortcomings, how would I explain it to Master Xu?
Ye Xiaochuan will never force others to do anything, nor will he put others in danger.
Seeing that Tianyu Bolili refused to go, Ye Xiaochuan had no choice but to temporarily postpone his plan to visit Wu Xueshuang and Wen He, and took the two girls along the periphery of Devil's Lake, detouring southward to Tianhejiao in the south of Devil's Lake.
In fact, Ye Xiaochuan thought wrong. The reason why Tian Yu Pili refused to go deep into Devil's Lake to meet Wu Xueshuang and Wen He was not because he was afraid of the two old witches, but because they were thinking about Ye Xiaochuan.
They had been here a few years ago and knew that this huge lakeside hid the same huge dangers.
Ye Xiaochuan's identity is a hidden danger. If Wu Xueshuang and Wen He have murderous intentions towards Ye Xiaochuan, it will be impossible for Ye Xiaochuan to leave Devil's Lake alive.
Although Pili was very violent and always angry at Ye Xiaochuan, after all, Ye Xiaochuan was very kind to her, and she didn't want to see Ye Xiaochuan fall into danger.
Therefore, they refused to go to Devil's Lake.
They knew that as long as they insisted on going, Ye Xiaochuan would not leave them alone and go alone.
Ye Xiaochuan didn't know the good intentions of the two girls and thought it was because of the psychological shadow caused by the thunderbolt coming to Devil's Lake last time.
Now that it's dawn, from time to time you can encounter some casual cultivators from the Demon Cult turning into streaks of light and flying through the sky.
For the sake of caution, Ye Xiaochuan put away the edgeless sword, and Pili was also covered under a black cloth.
The three of them flew physically, but the speed was not very fast. Since they were flying close to the outside of Devil's Lake, they did not fly in a straight line. They arrived at Tianhe Point in the south of Devil's Lake in the afternoon.
Tianhejiao is the symbol of the southern part of Devil's Lake.
Directly south of the huge Devil's Lake, there is a tall mountain peak. Compared with the surrounding peaks that are dozens of feet tall, the thousand-foot-tall peak looks like it stands out among a flock of chickens, so it is called Tianhe Cape.
Tianhe Cape is like the Cape of Good Hope in the southern part of the Far West. It can be said to be the most important tourist attraction. Because there are so many mountains here, it is easy to lose your bearings.
People in the Demon Sect all rely on the Crane Horn to determine their orientation.
There are many demon sect masters living in seclusion on Tianhe Cape. Ye Xiaochuan did not come close. He only looked at Tianhe Cape from a distance of dozens of miles away, then abandoned the dead map and started the activity living in his mind.
Map leaf tea.
Ye Cha said: "Let's find a place to rest first, and we can't set off until it gets dark."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Why?"
Ye Cha said: "I told you on the way that Qingling Mountain, where Xuan Hu lives in seclusion, is located in the rainbow seven-color miasma outside the dead swamp in the south.
If you have been to Death Lake, you know that there is a miasma of seven colors in the rainbow, and a person can't see more than ten feet in it.
It's very easy to get lost in it.
If you want to find Qingling Mountain, you need other ginseng creations."
Ye Xiaochuan slowly looked up at the sky and said, "Stars?"
Ye Cha said: "Yes, stars.
With the Big Dipper on your body, using Tianhe Jiao as the base point, and using the Big Dipper for positioning, you can find Qingling Mountain."
Ye Cha was confident, and Ye Xiaochuan felt relieved.
He found that there were many casual cultivators of the Demon Sect nearby, and he already met three casual cultivators of the Demon Sect who were passing by and greeted them from a distance.
So Ye Xiaochuan landed in a valley about thirty miles northeast of Tianhejiao with his thunderbolt.
I didn't notice anything wrong at first, but after dark, I felt something was wrong.
Because in the valley not far away, there was a light of fire. This was obviously an inhabited valley.
There were two more outsiders in the valley, and they quickly attracted the owner's attention.
Not long after, a young boy wearing tight black clothes came over.
Ye Xiaochuan couldn't laugh or cry.
After hiding here and there, he finally hid in front of the house of the Demon Sect's Sanxiu Cave.
He murmured: "Why are there so many casual cultivators outside Devil Lake?"
Ye Chadao: "Not all casual cultivators live on the islands in Devil's Lake. Almost all the hills on the land near Tianhejiao are occupied by disciples of the Holy Cult.
But don’t worry, in this hundred-mile radius, the real masters should be in Tianhejiao, which is dozens of miles away from Tianhejiao. Those who live in seclusion here are probably ordinary casual cultivators of the holy sect, and his whole family
Even if we join forces, we can't be your opponent."
